CYRIL GRAYSON NEWS

Finds new home Grayson signed with the Browns' practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Grayson was let go by the Buccaneers with an injury settlement in September, after having spent the last three years with the team. The 28-year-old appeared in 10 contests over that time, making 11 catches on 16 targets for 215 yards and three touchdowns. He'll now work to get a chance with the Browns' active roster this season.

Not playing Saturday Grayson (undisclosed) isn't scheduled to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Titans, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Grayson presumably is dealing with an injury, as this otherwise would be a nice opportunity to take advantage of Tampa's other health concerns at wide receiver.

Healthy and ready to compete Grayson, who finished the Buccaneers' postseason run in January nursing a hamstring injury, is healthy and could make a push for playing time in the latter portion of the wideout d...

Impact The well-traveled speedster made a splash Weeks 16 and 17 last season with 81 receiving yards in both games, including a key 50-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter of a narrow win over the Jets in the latter contest. Grayson has impressed offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich with his progress and gradually successful transition from college track star to wide receiver. "I think he's truly confident now," said Leftwich. "I think he truly believes that he can get it done, and it's fun for me to see the confidence that he shows up in practice with every day. It's like a whole different guy from three years ago."

Buccaneers All-Pro RT Tristan Wirfs inactive against Rams

Tampa Bay All-Pro right tackle Tristan Wirfs is inactive for Sunday’s NFC divisional playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams with an ankle injury

Inactive Sunday Grayson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's playoff game against the Rams.

Impact With Breshad Perriman (hip/abdomen) and Grayson both unavailable, Look for Mike Evans and Tyler Johnson to lead the Buccaneers' wideout corps Sunday, with Scotty Miller, Jaelon Darden and John Brown candidates to mix in as well.

JANUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed questionable Grayson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Grayson's return to a limited practice Friday gives him a shot to play, but it's far from a sure thing, which means Scotty Miller, Jaelon Darden and even John Brown could see snaps behind Mike Evans and Tyler Johnson at wide receiver. Fellow Bucs wideout Breshad Perriman (abdomen/hip), who had been filling in for Grayson, is ruled out for Sunday's game.

Impact Grayson was a spectator for the Buccaneers' wild-card win over the Eagles last weekend while he continued to recover from the left hamstring injury he sustained early in Tampa Bay's Week 18 win over Carolina. Though the speedy wideout hasn't taken reps in practice since suffering the injury and looks in line to miss a second straight playoff game Sunday against the Rams, Grayson's presence at Thursday's workout is at least a step in the right direction. According to Laine, Grayson was mostly taking part in stretching and activation work under the supervision of the Bucs' training staff, and he continued to sport heavy bandaging on his injured hamstring.

Not practicing Wednesday Grayson (hamstring) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.

Impact Since sustaining a hamstring injury in the Buccaneers' regular-season finale, Grayson hasn't mixed into any drills and missed the team's playoff opener this past Sunday against the Eagles. He still has a pair of chances to get back on the practice field this week and put himself in a position to suit up for Sunday's divisional-round matchup with the Rams, but his availability remains up in the air for the time being.

Will sit out wild-card game Grayson (hamstring) won't play in Sunday wild-card game against the Eagles, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Head coach Bruce Arians ruled out the wide receiver shortly after he missed a third consecutive practice Friday. With Grayson out of the lineup after injuring his hamstring in the regular-season finale, the Bucs will likely deploy Mike Evans, Tyler Johnson and Breshad Perriman (hip) as the primary grouping in three-receiver sets. Scotty Miller, Jaelon Darden and Justin Watson (quadriceps) are the other options at the position.

No practice Thursday Grayson (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Grayson was quickly ruled out of a Week 18 win against the Panthers after six offensive snaps, the result of a hamstring issue. Since then, coach Bruce Arians' line on Grayson more or less has gone from questionable to doubtful to play in Sunday's wild-card game versus the Eagles. With no practice yet this week, Grayson seems destined to be ruled out for the Buccaneers' playoff opener, which could be confirmed as early as the release of Friday's injury report.

Impact Grayson injured his hamstring early in the Bucs' Week 18 win over Carolina, after catching nine passes for 162 yards and a touchdown between Weeks 16 and 17. His likely absence Sunday leaves Tyler Johnson and Breshad Perriman as the favorites for snaps alongside Mike Evans, while Scotty Miller and Jaelon Darden are still expected to stick in reserve roles.

Impact Grayson suffered the injury during Sunday's win over the Panthers, and he may end up being unavailable for the first round of the playoffs. Breshad Perriman should had five catches for 44 yards versus Carolina and could have a similar workload if Grayson is unable to play this weekend.

Injures hamstring Grayson has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Panthers with a hamstring injury.

Impact Grayson didn't catch a pass prior to his exit from the contest. In his absence, Mike Evans and Tyler Johnson are in line to head the Buccaneers' shorthanded wideout corps in Week 18.

Officially joins active roster Grayson signed a contract with the Buccaneers on Saturday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact The hero of Week 17 will finally get a spot guaranteed on the active roster after being elevated from the practice squad in back-to-back weeks. Grayson's six receptions obviously marked a career high but more crucially might have indicated the former track star could be an integral part of the offensive plans in the absence of both Chris Godwin and the recently waived Antonio Brown. Expect Grayson to see a handful of targets once more with the Buccaneers still playing for seeding in Week 18.
